Controlling Camera I/O From Joystick

Undisclosed End User #1

We have a client requesting the ability to open and close their gates via a joystick connected up to their VMS and controlling the camera output. The output of the camera controls the gate perfectly from the camera interface, as well as the I/O control panel in their VMS (Nuuo Mainconsole). The joystick (USB CH Products joystick) also works perfect with the VMS for PTZ control/Changing cameras/Changing views. The problem I am running into is that (according to Nuuo) there is no option to map a joystick button to control a camera output (seems silly, as the I/O panel controls it fine already so it should be really easy to add the option to control via a joystick). So here I am stuck trying to find a solution. Is there a way I can map a joystick button via external software to control the output of the camera? Either that, or does someone know someone high up at Nuuo that could maybe push this to be added as I am getting no where with their support lately.
